Every morning, [Molly](DDCJ94N5) walked to school along a sunny suburban street. She loved the rows of colorful houses, the shade of the big trees, and the cheerful sound of birds.

She always passed by [Mrs. Wilkins](PM7NVRKY)' house, the one with the prettiest garden. [Mrs. Wilkins](PM7NVRKY), an elderly lady with a warm smile, would water her plants every day and wave to [Molly](DDCJ94N5) as she passed.

One Tuesday morning, [Molly](DDCJ94N5) noticed something strange. [Mrs. Wilkins](PM7NVRKY) wasn't in her garden. The flowers looked a little thirsty, and [Molly](DDCJ94N5) felt a little lonely without seeing her wave.

Days went by, and [Mrs. Wilkins](PM7NVRKY) still wasn’t there. On Friday, [Molly](DDCJ94N5) noticed a small flowerpot on the porch with drooping yellow daisies. 'They look so sad,' [Molly](DDCJ94N5) said. 'Maybe I can help.'

[Molly](DDCJ94N5) carefully picked up the flowerpot and carried it home. She placed it on her windowsill. Every morning before school, she watered it and said, 'Hello, little daisies!'

One evening, [Molly](DDCJ94N5)'s mother sat down beside her. '[Molly](DDCJ94N5),' she said softly, '[Mrs. Wilkins](PM7NVRKY) has passed away. She won't be coming back.' [Molly](DDCJ94N5) felt tears in her eyes as she hugged her mom tightly.

The next morning was [Mrs. Wilkins](PM7NVRKY)’ funeral. [Molly](DDCJ94N5) walked by her house and saw neighbors gathered in black clothes, leaving flowers on her porch. [Molly](DDCJ94N5) felt a little better knowing how loved [Mrs. Wilkins](PM7NVRKY) was.

Later that day, [Molly](DDCJ94N5) checked the flowerpot on her windowsill. To her amazement, the yellow daisies were blooming more brightly than ever! It felt like they were smiling at her.

[Molly](DDCJ94N5) smiled and whispered, 'Thank you, [Mrs. Wilkins](PM7NVRKY).' She kept taking care of the daisies, feeling like her friend was still with her in a special way.

From then on, every time [Molly](DDCJ94N5) passed [Mrs. Wilkins](PM7NVRKY)' house, she smiled at the garden blooming anew, remembering the special bond they had nurtured. It was their flower of friendship.
